See“Trailer Brakes” underTowing
Equipment 0301 to determine if brakes are
required based on your trailer's weight.
The only way to be sure the weight is not
exceeding any of these ratings is to weigh
the tow vehicle and trailer combination,
fully loaded for the trip, getting individual
weights for each of these items.
A trailering information label on the center
pillar (B-pillar) shows tow rating information
for the vehicle.
{Warning
You and others could be seriously injured
or killed if the trailer is too heavy or the
trailer brakes are inadequate for the load.
The vehicle may be damaged, and the
repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Only tow a trailer if all the steps in this
section have been followed. Ask your
dealer for advice and information about
towing a trailer.
Gross Combined Weight (GCW) Alert
If equipped, the Gross Combined Weight
(GCW) Alert can display a message in the
Driver Information Center (DIC), indicating
that the estimated combined weight of the
vehicle and trailer may exceed the vehicle’s
Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR),
under certain circumstances. See "Gross
Combined Weight Rating" later in this
section. The vehicle does not actually
measure the loaded weight of your vehicle
or trailer. It uses vehicle data to estimate
these weights after you begin a trip.
The alert will not activate unless:
.The feature is turned on in the Trailering
application, see Trailering App0310.
.The vehicle-trailer combination is driven
with enough acceleration events for the
software algorithm to estimate the
combined vehicle and trailer weight.
.The estimated weight could exceed the
vehicle maximum GCWR.
If you see the alert message, stop the
vehicle when it is safe and check whether
the vehicle and trailer are overloaded using
a scale. See “Maximum Trailer Weight” later
on in this section.
{Warning
Always determine the actual weights of
the loaded vehicle and trailer using a
vehicle scale before beginning a trip.
Never use the GCW Alert to determine
whether the vehicle and trailer are
properly loaded or overloaded. Do not
drive with an overloaded vehicle or
trailer. Death, serious injury, or property
damage could occur.
GCWR is only one of the maximum weight
ratings applicable to your vehicle and trailer.
The GCW Alert does not estimate whether
the vehicle alone exceeds the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR), the rear-axle weight
exceeds Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR-RR), the trailer exceeds the Maximum
Trailer Weight Rating or the trailer tongue
weight exceeds the Maximum Tongue
Weight Rating. Always verify that the
weight of the vehicle, vehicle contents,
trailer, trailer contents and trailer tongue are
below all of these maximum weight ratings.
See "Maximum Trailer Weight" below.
